"Looks mean nothing with you, sweetheart," Finnick answers instantly. The implication of his tone is that he's only pretending to joke, but is being utterly serious -- because he is. He knows Johanna to know that if she wants a weapon, she knows how to hide.

"What about your stash?" Finnick asks, because he's going to have this thing out of his arm soon. He can do it on his own, but it'll be easier with her help. She got hers own without killing herself after all.

"I'd kill just for us all to be safe," Finnick responds, answer oddly serious for him. He's never questioned why exactly she decided to join in on the rebellion. The Capitol's hurt them all beyond repair, obviously, but if she went into the Quarter Quell with the intention to win -- if she didn't win, she'd come bloody close. The truth of the matter is that it would have probably been one of them, maybe Gloss or Cashmere. Everyone else has wasted away too much, Enobara and Brutus too brash. Katniss too young, too untrained. But maybe this is the heart of why both of them decided to take the risk and jump on the rebellion bandwagon: He wants to protect. She wants revenge. He doesn't dare ask her still.
